The historic Villa Theatre opened in 1949, showing the black and white film "Prince of Foxes." In 1961 the Villa became the only theater in Utah to show Cinerama. The theater closed 18 February 2003 and has been renovated as a beautiful rug gallery.

The Arc Theatre opened 3 July 1925, under the management of E. M. Swain, and was “a beautiful house” and “a credit to the growing city of Roosevelt.”[1]

The theater was built by a company of stockholders. The building featured a pressed brick exterior with black mortar trimmings, which “greatly enhances the appearance of main street.” Interior surpassed “the exterior in beauty and appointment.” It was described as the “finest appointed and attractive show house in eastern Utah.” “No show house of its size in Utah will be more convenient or better appointed.”[2]
